Our approach to sleep medicine

Our sleep specialists and respiratory therapists work closely with you to identify and treat the root causes of your sleep problems. We want you to feel supported and comfortable throughout the process.

Diagnosing sleep disorders
Our services include in-depth evaluations, comprehensive sleep studies, and home sleep apnea testing. Using the latest screening technologies, we collect accurate data on your breathing, movements, and behaviors during sleep. We also offer inpatient consultations for patients with known or suspected sleep disorders.
How a sleep study works
You will meet a sleep technician upon your arrival at one of our sleep labs. After your evaluation, you will settle comfortably into your private suite, which features a television and a comfortable bed. We will monitor your sleep and breathing patterns throughout the night, and we will administer oxygen if necessary. In the morning, you will be able to take a shower in your private bathroom and leave for your day before 7:00 a.m.
After your sleep study
Our specialists will evaluate and interpret your sleep study data. We use this information to create your personalized treatment plan and send the results to your doctor. We may refer you to specialists, such as a sleep dentist or an ENT surgeon, if you need additional care.
Specialized sleep clinics
We offer specialized clinics for people with REM sleep behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, and sleep disorders related to neurodegenerative diseases. These clinics provide targeted care for complex sleep issues and offer the opportunity to participate in clinical trials.
Accredited sleep medicine care
All of our facilities are accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). The AASM is the gold standard for sleep centers and proves that we meet rigorous standards for patient care, safety, and quality.
Sleep research leadership
Mass General Brigham is home to one of the world’s leading research programs on sleep and circadian rhythm disorders. Our researchers are seeking new treatments for sleep apnea, insomnia, and other conditions. We also believe that promoting good sleep health can help prevent many diseases.
We provide advanced care for sleep apnea and other respiratory and neurological conditions that affect sleep. The treatments we use include CPAP and cognitive behavioral therapy to help you achieve restful and safe sleep.
